Mimic Miniatures Up on Kickstarter

Mimic miniatures is a small company that's getting started up on Kickstarter right now.

Soldiers in Dress Uniforms, Armed for a Fight

I often receive requests to make cake toppers with soldiers in dress blues or other uniforms. And most of them pick assault rifles to battle the zombie horde.

 Here are a few recent uniforms, and one BDU kilt.

 

Judicator: Colossal of Menoth

Well, I got to paint one of these recently, so I thought I would share.

 

Romantic Ninja Cake Topper- Threshold Pose

Well, the previous romantic ninja cake topper that I made was pretty popular. But here is a variation on that that one of my clients came up with- an across the threshold pose for them:
